However.
I thought WindowMaker already had that, as my system has an
/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker (and other) file(s).

I *do* have a problem of talking about
a curator being _forced_ (in theory) to accept a change they object to,
rather than having a discussion that teases out and clarifies the actual
issues, so they can be addressed in the open, and either the curator's
mind changed by discussion, or the proposed change modified to address
the objections.
Committees make poor engineering decisions.

I'm very selfish... I want it to work well for me. "Looking old" is not
a good engineering justification for a change.
(On the other hand, I'm also not a fan of hard-coding anything. I'd rather
have a configuration file somewhere, even if the values in that file are
unknown and unchanging.)

Isn't that called "xterm"?

This doesn't seem to be the sort of t
ness". I keep ending up
with WindowMaker because it offers a reasonable level of eye candy without
sacrificing my ability to Get Stuff Done.

Yes. Avoid losing information or functionality needlessly.
Relegating it to a support module hidden behind a couple of function
calls is just fine. For purposes of code simplification, the performance
impact of indirecting through additonal abstraction layers is zero.
